Colleagues across the firm walked, ran and cycled nearly the equivalent distance of the UK to Antarctica recently in our first ever firmwide virtual challenge.
A total of 170 people clocked up an enormous 16,038km in a month long challenge that was held to support the health and wellbeing of our people while raising funds for our partner charities, with the firm donating £12,000 shared equally between our 12 office-nominated charities.
"The virtual challenge has been a shining example of Shoosmiths people working together. Our development team in particular embraced the challenge of setting up a platform to record activity and identify the office milestones reached. Congratulations to everyone who took part and thank you for your efforts." - partner and challenge organiser Suzie Burrell.
